Estrategia Pedagógica para la Participación de la Familia en el Proceso de Enseñanza-Aprendizaje

Abstract

The Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador of 2008 establishes education as an unavoidable right. Individuals, families and society in general have the right and responsibility to participate in the educational process. In this sense, there is a need to know how to promote the participation of the family in the teaching-learning process (PEA) of the students in their 4th year of Basic Education at Isaac A. Chico School. The referential theories are the following: the sociocultural theory of Vygotsky (1896-1934), in terms of learning through social interaction; and the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), according to Belloch Ortí (2012), as a communication channel to achieve the participation of the family in the PEA. This research is part of the socio-critical paradigm, focused on qualitative research. In order to obtain information, techniques were used such as participant observation, focus groups and the structured and semi-structured interview. As instruments of data collection, according to Palella & Martins (2012), the field diary and the survey applied to parents and student representatives were used. It was concluded with the application of a pedagogical strategy using WhatsApp as a communication channel to achieve the participation of the family in the teaching-learning process.
